Physical Port Settings
Auto-Module Speed Detection
When you enable auto-module speed detection, the system reads information from the module, and sets the port
speed to the maximum speed that is advertised by the module. If there is a problem reading from the module, the
system sets the default speed (the default value is platform-specific).
When auto-module sets the speed, the system creates a log entry noting the speed that was set.
Enabling Auto-Module speed detection on a Port
config switch physical-port
set speed auto-module
end
end
Viewing Auto-Module Configuration
Display the status of Auto-Module using following commands
FS # config switch physical-port
FS (physical-port) # edit port47
FS(port47) # show
config switch physical-port
edit "port47"
set max-frame-size 16360
set speed 10000full
next
end
FS(port47) # get

Link-Layer Discovery Protocol
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral Layer 2 protocol that enables devices on a Layer 2
segment to discover information about each other.
The switch will multicast LLDPpackets to advertise its identity and capabilities, and the switch receives the
equivalent information from adjacent layer 2 peers.
LLDP transmission is configured per port. By default LLDPtransmission is disabled.
